Who or what is your inspiration in business?

The person who inspires me the most in business is Imhotep. He was not just an engineer but the greatest if not the first entrepreneurs of his time. We still view his architecture throughout the World and fascinated by the wonders he created. His knowledge on how to construct the Great Pyramids & the establishment of similar ideas spreading across a nation without modern tech still leaves me at awe. I inspire to start with a simple idea just like Imhotep that will impact the World.

How do you stay motivated?

My biggest motivation is my family, they believe in me at times when it’s hard to believe in myself. That pressure makes diamonds as carrying the weight to succeed gets overwhelming but so worth it. Without those late night calls, sermons from Mom, and support at all my events my faith would not see have seen me through. I owe it all to them and my biggest driver for waking up every morning.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the money directly back into the business. Further economic development and enhance features/functionalities that would support the long-term vision of providing solutions for housing placement and educational resourcing.
